Simple Moving Average (SMA)

A simple moving average (SMA), also know as simple-day moving average or simply moving average, is a technical indicator that determines the average of a chosen range of prices, typically the closing prices, by the quantity of periods in that range. For example, the 50 SMA adds up the closing prices of the past 50 days and divides the sum by 50 (days) to make an arithmetical average. From that calculation, the SMA indicator displays a line in the chart that can be used as a support level if price is above it or a resistance level is price is below it. Generally, more that one moving average is used, in order to have a more complete picture analysis of price action during short-, intermediate- and long-term periods. Other moving averages exist, such as the weighted moving average (WMA) and the exponential moving average (EMA).

Bitcoin and Ethereum Funds: Two Unusual Activities That Could Result in a Big Move

Today we take a look at the technicals for Bitcoin and Ethereum. The crypto market has been quiet for several months.   On Friday we detected unusual dark pool activities (large block orders) in the Bitcoin Trust Fund and Ethereum Trust Fund, GBTC and ETHE respectively. When smart money know something, they place large orders in the dark pool exchanges, away from the public eye. By doing so, they are positioning themselves ahead of the crowds, in order to benefit from move that will follow, once the news or report is made public. However, dark pool activities   do not   tell us the direction of the next move. It only tell us that a large order(s) has been placed. Only a breakout (bullish) about a resistance level, or a breakdown (bearish) below a support level can confirm the direction of the next move. So, what can we expect next?
